DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vs Pocket 2 vs Pocket 1

Finally I decided to buy the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to see how good this thing is. There is some massive hype around this filmmaking device and I really want to see how well it does through the generations and what the key differences are in 4k filming.
It is pretty fair to say the technology just keeps getting better and better so there will be almost no doubt that the Osmo Pocket 3 is the best. But by how much and is it worth it?

Pocket 1: super sharp and actually fits in pocket. Active track works. Best with Controller Wheel.
Pocket 2: Not as sharp but wider and actually fits in pocket. Active track not working CPU is too weak. Best with Controller Wheel.
Pocket 3: Bigger like a camcorder. Needs much more care. Pixels are finally that size what video camera needs. Active Track works and HEVC. Tilting while panning not working at the same time like P1/P2 it works. Plastic feels more paper. Mic and battery handle are great. 16gb file size. Float audio mic2.

They actually cant compare each other. They are all good in this class of gear. Actually Pocket 2 also has base without thread! That thread base is accessory.

As usual don't care 120fps 422 12k 1600mbps luts logs actually what matters is audio, story, lighting and the less DOF the better. Useless to watch blur.

Anyway these are great for family cameras as they are meant to be. Image quality is far more than enough for that use. I use them all.

I actually came to this channel years ago because of Pocket 1. Thats why I found this channel. Great you compared all these 3 cameras.

They just copied Action 4 software to Pocket 3. I have both and the UI is like the same. Its great it works. It was actually great they added MIC 2 support for Action 4 as well. Wireless audio works great same mic.

I really enjoyed the comparison with the previous two models. Thank you.

Danny in the House! Glad to see you guys work together.

Hi Jason. I've been waiting for your review since this camera came out because back in a days your videos encouraged me to buy Osmo Pocket 1. So again, thanks Jason👍

[DannyBlack]

hey thanks again for inviting to join in on this one… this camera is going to be hard to beat (until pocket pro, but that’s a guess 🤷)

[KoryBrooks]

Just ordered a refurbished Pocket 1 to see how it goes. I plan to Vlog my classic truck rebuild and needed something cheap and to the point. Thanks for the detailed review and comparison!

The Pocket 3 is probably the best thing to come out of the media lineup since camcorders. The Pocket 1 and 2 were great alternatives to smartphones but the Pocket 3 completely became a great tool and even a video cam replacement. It's actually quite nice to have a recording device that doesn't have notifications interrupt you every time you want to record something. Pretty great tech. Maybe Pocket 4 they can add zoom on it too since the main FOV is wide enough.

Finally great to see the next videos 😁

[FelixDamianFilms]

I have the Osmo Pocket 1. Amazing image quality... and used it about 10 times in 5 years.

[AlexReinholdsson]

Got it, love it even more with the mist vnd filters from freewell🙏🏼🙏🏼

[stkuj]

Def planning on picking up one of these, would love it even more if it was a bit more rugged with weather sealing. That being said, I think it's a great run & gun portable solution for vlogging, IG Stories & Reels, YT Shorts, etc.

[alantay]

Welcome to the party. Better late than never! Great review. Love this little bad ass camera on a tiny gimbal!

[elliottmccrackenrealestate]

Just got mine today… always considered these more of a toy then something to utilize for what I do, real estate. But for that I think this will be phenomenal. Wish this came out a year ago lol

I'm 90% on purchasing a Pocket 3 for me. I have a ZV-E10 and an A6000 I sometimes take to the gym with me to record some stuff, but usually i take my Insta360 to record, because it's much easier to take it to places due to it being a much smaller setup and i can alse record POV while I'm biking. The insta360 one RS image quality is decent, but the Pocket 3 seems like a big upgrade.

Thank you for the video. After watching this, i change my mind and gonna have pocket 3 🎉

[prokrastinator]

DJI Osmo Pocket 1 is so tiny, that I really can say that this is the only fair "Pocket" camera

[Quizinators]

Thank you, great video as usual I admit I watched your pocket 1 video also brought me to the channel as other have said, although am a Sony user primarily...although I bought the pocket 3 a few months ago as an upgrade and for the purpose I need it is suitable, its genuinely better in low light and the easy integration with 'lightcut' is fab, a great tool to go hand in hand with my other cameras, fab for blogging for simplicity with the mic, but has its negatives also I admit. Keep the reviews coming, spot on!

[RyanKorea]

This has replaced my A7IV for most of my content now. I've been looking forward to your review

[fatlipmedia]

Decided on a whim to get one of these. Had no idea what was going to use it for haha. Turns out it’s really cool for behind the scenes footage and test footage 👌
